Stick me down. JKo, if you want the side repeaters in white take a look in the boot (trunk) the lights in there just need a tiny trim on the back to make them fit in the wing. Ebay etc should get some cheep.

So hold back one set and sell it later.

Word to the wise, collect *all* the money first. You'd be amazed at the drop out rate on group buys on other forums. Guys that were solid all of a sudden turn into mush at the worst time.

Amen. Based on the initial quote I agree, hopeful the price goes down dramatically once we clarify a 'just lens' price, not the 'whole unit' $180 quote....

Anyone got spare front indicators/side markers willing to send to Clearz?

I don't have spares to spare. Good comments regarding price/drop out. $180 for just lenses is not bad considering that they are custom and unique. However, the quality i.e. fit and finish must be equal to OEM.

I have trust on the fellow members and I hope the price will drop down also if it can be "more mass produced"

also will retrofitting back to the OEM light house a big task?

The more complete the kit, the better. I also hope for repeater light lenses as well since I'll be installing these in the future.

I don't have any but I might be able to get some, I know a shop with 5 X308s all with timing chain or trans failures that are just sitting there waiting for a miracle.

Exactly what is needed?
2 meaning driver's side and passenger's side:

2 front indicators (Part A on my picture)
2 front side markers (Part B on my picture)

and are we considering the rear side markers also (Part C)

@ XJR02 - Yep all lenses you kindly marked out as members want a 'full set'. It'd be magic if you could score a set cheap and send them over to Clearz for a quote...those interested could chip in with the cost.

It saves me trying to find a set and ship them from the UK...


@ Safi - The figure of $180 is for the fronts only including the lens carrier which makes it easy for swapping. Anyone wanna drop out before we get this rolling along?

I'm ok with just the fronts. I plan to tint my sides since my car is anthracite. Is anyone else interested in the signal repeater lenses?

US spec cars have side marker lights, and euro spec cars have reflectors without lights... are the lenses identical between the two?
